Baker Center lower lounge renovations begin next week

One pool table will remain in new layout

The new lounge will feature a stage, flat screen televisions, a high-quality sound system, new furniture and a Bobcat-spirited theme. As a result of the new event space, all but one of the pool tables will be transferred to residence halls.

"We realize that the pool tables are very popular with students and community members, however; we also feel that this newly decorated space will add a fresh component to Baker University Center that will quickly become an exciting destination with the university community" said Sujit Chemburkar, executive director of the Baker University Center.

The renovated lounge is scheduled to open during fall quarter and a naming contest will be held.
